RACING TODAY FM 96 HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 22) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a slick tempo with Red Sash, Golden Pacific and Woman Of Power leading the way. CATCH YOUR BREATH (6) missed the placings last time out over 1600m at this track. Prior to that had won two races on end. Richard Fourie who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. MONTELENA (5) won narrowly by 0.1 lengths two runs back at Fairview All Weather then missed the frame last time at this track. Drops a little in the weights. Craig Zackey is yet to win when aboard but has never been out of the money from four rides. Bold showing expected. HIGHLYCONFIDENTIAL (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1000m at Kenilworth. Has the ability to figure prominently. GOLDEN PACIFIC (2) finished third last time over 1300m at Fairview All Weather when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
